Posted July 24, 201014 yr Feel free to add to these. I'm sure a lot of you have taken pictures of some interesting street furniture.

July 24, 201014 yr Did you know that most of these can be free to cities? Manufacturers make their money from ad revenues.
July 24, 201014 yr I personally really like the design of the bus shelters in the first and second image. The remaining designs, while sleek and modern, are, IMHO, uninspired and sterile. The walkway cover is very cool, though.
July 24, 201014 yr Renderings are always sterile. I'm just glad people are generating that kind of creativity. In a lot of these, I'm not admiring the design but also its functionality. The idea that a news-stand or vending machine can be integrated into a bus shelter to generate revenue is fantastic.
August 5, 201014 yr I like them. They need to be simple to avoid sidewalks looking cluttered. I like how they've merged newstands with clocks and bus shelters. Hopefully they withstand the elements. The JCDecaux stuff has held up incredibly well despite the beating they take from our harsh winters and vandalism.
